    145.8. I'm switching up my workout a bit this week. I'm getting very lazy on the cardio part. So I'm going to do double challenges 3x's a week, and cardio longer the other 3, and one day rest. My cardio goal is 20 miles for the week. Hope everyone has a very successful week!!!! :tongue:

    I gained this week. Blah. So hard to see. Soooo far from my goal for this month. But at least I know I've already gotten a bit stronger and am in slightly better shape than I was a few months ago.

    I can already see that this week is going to kick my butt - but that's a good thing!

    Ok so I already changed my mind again. Just going to do challenges every day like I'm suppost to and switching between 3 and 5 miles every day. So that wil give me a total of 24 miles and 100 extra crunches a day for a total of 600. Everyone hold me accountable for this!!!!

    Hello Team! I'm sorry I haven't checked in lately. This week is our family and bestie's annual vacation getaway at the beach :bigsmile: Yes, I'm still keeping my calories in check, drinking tons of water, and getting my workouts in so hopefully the scale will be nice to me this week. I don't know why the scale didn't move last week, I really wanted to be in the 250's before our beach trip but I'm almost there and I'm loving the beach anyway :love:
    Good night all and sweet dreams!
    :heart: Marie
  • Hey there everyone! It's nearly lunch time and I still haven't had brekky. Anywaaaaaay...last week I weighed in at 156.4lbs yesterday I'm back down to 152lbs and there you go. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    So today is my swim day and I was able to swim today without a kickboard - can I please get a YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYAH! Poor KJ is full of the cold but still managed to come down and coach me from the side of the pool. It was her b'day yesterday and she's just having a bad run of it with the cold, work AND uni kicking her butt. However, she still continues to hang in there!

    After today's sesh in the pool I hit the gym and got my butt kicked however it was obviously still keen for more kickin' because I got home and managed to complete today's challenges starting off with a TABATA workout:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DfuU3TSsFM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
    2 min bear walk
    100 jump jacks
    100 crunches
    35 split squats (I could only complete 2 of these and then had to modify to step back lunges as my knees couldn't take any more after my gym workout.
    2 mile walk/run/jog I've already done and will be walking a couple more miles by the end of today.

    I will also be volunteering 100 crunches per day alternating between all the variations towards this week's team challenge.
    BTW JR - You CRACK me up!
    LOVE YOU ALL and THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME TRY AND LOSE THIS WEIGHT. :flowerforyou: :love: :smooched:

    Super impressed by you guys! Seems like I'm just doing enough to say I did it...and not pushing myself. I've lost my motivation somewhere... has anyone seen it? If you find it, please give it back... I miss it.

    I still cant see pics.. but, I still laughed at JR b/c I can only imagine..lol.

    Girl you've lost 52lbs! Motivation is your middle name. Lets get back in the groove! Give me just 5 days, work out for 5 days and diet for 5 days. The hardest part is getting back up and going! Once you get the ball rolling things go much better. The month is almost up and I'm talking FAT MAN WITH SHIRT OFF AND TRIBAL Paint pictures here if everyone loses! Oh hell yeah! You all will get an extra 2lb weight loss once you see the pictures and puke! Come on girl! 5 days! What do you have to lose besides weight!!!

    I'm also not a dr. but workout stims are great for days I don't feel motivated. I used jack3d last night and I felt like I could go for days. I didn't want to go and I ended up lifting weights for almost an hour on top of my hour of cardio and I only left because it was getting late and thought I better get home. If you go on one and you are worried you might want to talk to you dr. first, I ue a HRM monitor so I watch my HR while working out to know if I am pushing too hard.

    Marie I saw this and it made me think of you and how exercise needs to be FUN. It does NOT have to be in a gym. You logged in your body board play and I loved that!!!!!

    I have recently upped the amount of weight lifting I have been doing and I am noticing a lot of change. I'm not losing pounds as fast but my arms and legs (FINALLY FREAKING CALVES) are starting to get definition going to them. My weight loss goal is to get back into shape. I don't care if I weight 300 pounds, as long as I have low body fat and I'm healthy. If anyone is curious on free weight questions or are scared I can help out with that some as that is one of the things I did when I was younger. When I first started it was all about the weight loss and now it's about being healthy.

    I don't know if everyone is working out or some just dieting, but if you are just dieting let me tell you something I've learned. When you work out everything else seems to fall in place. Motivation, eating, and etc seem to come into line. I don't always eat the healthiest, I work on that but since working out my hunger and just health and feelings have increased drastically. My depression problems gone, health issues gone, sense of humor is back and greater then its been in a long time. So drink plenty of fluids (pure water preferred), watch your calories, don't deny yourself types of foods just portion them, and if you can work out. When I say work out I mean really push it. Our bodies can do more then what our brains think they can do.

    Lets all try to push ourselves, reach down inside and lets let our personalities shine, and work towards what we want. I pay more attention to everyone's profiles and diets then I let on! I am proud of you guys, there is some amazing work going on.

    Now that I actually posted a legitimate post back to my immature pictures!

    Now for first weight loss tip, this is wrong form:

  • Hi Tribe-

    Sorry about not posting yesterday. I am SOOOO ready for my life to settle down a bit. Me being sick, daughter with concussion, daughter with awful cold, hubby with flu and yesterday...grandma in a car accident. She is fine but her first ticket and accident ever. Felt so bad for her.

    Anyhow, glad to be back. Happy Birthday KJ.

    Yesterday I exercised and did my stupid jumping jacks and the other challenge stuff. Today was much better with the challenge stuff. Thinking that my lungs still have some healing to do.

    Hope everyone is having a great week!
